Whoah my god Cross Manage was good. I really hope it can find an audience. I love the art a lot. I was also really impressed with what would be a blatant, cliche fanservice scene in any other series, but here was a scene totally out of left field and genuinely felt awkward and embarrassing. The one complaint I have with the first chapter is that two pages after the aforementioned scene is a half-page face close-up that I have no idea what the intent of it was. I can't tell if it was supposed to be horrifying, sentimental, or maybe both.

I know the part you're talking about, and definitely both. She's meant to look devilish.

Random shit ahead.
So like, there's this company called Burg Hamburg Burg co. that deals with funny random stories, pranks, and events.
They're web-based company that's sorta like collegehumor.com of Japan.Anyways, their boss has a habit of sending really large prank gifts to this employee. (apparently even a pig's head..)
Well the employee, Yamaguchi, just got married, so the company decided to pull off a bigger one this time for him.
They found a life-size replica of a zebra, and thought it'd be perfect to leave in his house… but the thing costs 240,000 yen.So what do they do?
They went and got Kubo Tite and Misawa from Hell (Jump Square artist) to pay for it. LOL.
Apparently Kubo is friends with the comedy group.http://boss-blog.bhb.co.jp/?eid=260
Kubo is finally confirmed as a troll.
-
That's a funny looking giraffe… Haha good shit though.
-
Wow, a replica of a zebra costs 2400 €, one month worth of working for an animal that is not even real
-
^Get off this thread small timer. Kubo be using dollars for napkins.
-
LOL. Kubo is a professional troll.

France's manga and comics sales from 2011. Naruto's sales are pathetic (117,000 copies sold while 250,000 copies printed for the highest ranking volume of that time?!)
!
Only shows that manga sales are nothing compared Japan's sales. So Oda should get more money than Kishi does despite all of Naruto's popularity in the rest of the world, lol
-
I hate that Glenat isn't what also prints One Piece in spanish, as they and norma are the most purist of the translators, I don't remember who got one piece, but Ussuf and the logo are changes that I don't enjoy.
-
I dunno, my impression is quite the opposite.
Those sales figures are lot higher than I expected. Pretty sure France has a bigger manga market than any other western nation.While obviously not comparable with Japan sales, it's miles better than say, US or UK.

Well, international popularity never meant anything fro Naruto or any other japanese comic book. And your data is from 2011, in 2012 the latest Naruto book had the printing numbers dropped down to 225 000 while One Piece has risen over the 100 000 mark.
I dunno, my impression is quite the opposite.
Those sales figures are lot higher than I expected. Pretty sure France has a bigger manga market than any other western nation.France is the second largest market for manga worldwide and pretty much every other foreign publishers can do all but envy the french. I was really pleased to see how well seinen manga does there. Although it's understandable given their comic history. The BD market is superb all things considered (still not good enough to inspire me to learn the french language).

One Piece sells over 100,000 copies now? That's awesome. Do you have a link, perhaps?

No, he spoke about the printing, not the sells ;)
And I confirm about France (and the mini fall of Naruto lately) and its long now manga history. Which was not always an easy one, but yeah, it's a pretty good thing over here. It's accepted among us, a lot of séries published, Shonen like Seinen, and yes, these sells are not low at all.
For Maxterdexter, don't be too much envious about Glenat, not that they're baaaad, but definitly not my favorite publisher (just for One Piece, all is not perfect ;) Althought I have tendancies to defend them here and there when I found that some critics, specialy about translations, are not quite right)
-
-
So One Piece is getting more popular around the world? Nice.
We won't have to worry about Naruto any more any ways, it will be ending soon dispite no confirmation from Kishi we can tell by the arcs going on right now. -

Hey Aohige, do you have an idea how much money the mangaka get from overseas DVDs and manga sales?
-
Enigma artist's one-shot "Paradise Rule" was basically nearly a direct copy of the Fujiko Fujio A's classic masterpiece, "The Laughing Salesman". (Which also happens to be my favorite work from A of all. One of the best modern-day horror stories)
Not as good as the original TLS, but still improvement from Enigma.Maybe she'll return to WSJ one day.
Hey Aohige, do you have an idea how much money the mangaka get from overseas DVDs and manga sales?
No idea, but it's probably negligible compared to what they make in Japan.
-
What is "The Laughing Salesman"? I goolged it, but I couldn't find anything :/
Btw, this is my first post, nice too meet you :)
Alex, 15, Romania~ -
Warau Salesman (The Laughing Salesman).
It's a story of a creepy salesman who makes offers to bring people's wish come true… but always with a catch.
The person is usually put in a situation where he/she has no choice but to break the deal, and the result is usually horrifying.
He is basically like the Devil. He has powers to change and warp reality, and throw people into twilight zone-ish nightmare.And welcome to AP.

Thank you for the infos. :)

Wow, Naruto got kicked out of the Big Trio eh? Its happened before meh. Wonder whats so special about Toriko? I'm sorry I just can't get into the series, maybe I'll try again.
-
There is no stopping Assassination Classroom.
It's been consistently in the top 3 since it started getting ranked.
-
Gintama seems a tad low.

Naruto beaten by AssClass. LOL

Like some food (its entire premise) its an acquired taste. Give it some time to grow on you. If you find you're still not digging it, then yea it is just you and you should feel terrible.
Lol:D just kidding of course, it'll just mean you'll be left out whenever its mentioned. Can't do anything for you if you just don't like it.

The fact that has a female symbol besides Arakawa, It could be the income of the authors since january 2010.

Wow, a low hit like Nura there.. I hope that Sorachi this year takes over Kubo's place.
-
So One Piece sold more in that period than the next 7 highest combined
-
Didn't Nurarihyon no Mago do realy poorly in the actual chapter ratings at the time ?
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
And wait.... I'm not saying 58 million is a small number, but I remember seeing that the overall number was higher. Could someone explain ?

So, appearantly SJ alpha is going to become truly simultaneous soon http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-10-10/viz-media/shonen-jump-alpha-to-move-to-simultaneous-model-very-soon
I find it really cool, but their efforts will probably be hampered a bit by the leaks allowing us to get chapters days before they're supposed to come out in Japan -

Not sure what you mean by this. I mean, we definitely will still get it earlier unless they stop the leaks

58 million copies is the total sale during the period 2010-2012.
The total sale of One Piece is over 270 million copies.

Hahaha, PSI's cover and color pages was a riot.
"I have to apologize for making it harder to buy Jump"
"What was Jump editorial thinking?"
"Did you know if you google Asou Shuuichi (the author's name) the third suggestion option is 'Is Asou Shuuichi blackmailing the Editor in Chief?', maybe it's true afterall"And everyone thought this series was gonna get canned quick.

One Piece number 1 :D
Really surprised at how well Assassination Classroom is doing, I wonder how many copies volume 1 will sell.
Glad to see Beelzebub back among the top.
HQ has turne dout to be surpringly good and it's 3rd volume sold over 80,000 copies, is that good or bad for a new series?
Nisekoi is a fun series, hope it can get a little higher though.
Medaka box is so low :'( its ranked for 8 chapters ago yes? that was the end of the jet black bride arc which really did have a very poor ending. or is it the first chapter of the current arc?
ecchi series like Koisome just dont do very well at all anymore :(, volume 1 sold 35,000 copies, is that good or bad?
I'd liek to see where Takamagahara can go but I guess it's gonne be cancelled first.are Cross manage and retsu ranked yet?
-
are Cross manage and retsu ranked yet?
Not yet. Date is on 6th chapter and Cross Manage is on 5th chapter.
-
PSI's really good based on the first 2 chapters translated. Def enjoying it more than AssClass.
-
I wouldn't place it above AC, which is more of a story-driven manga thick in comedy.
PSI is comparable to Date-senpai in that both are nonsensical slapstick gag manga, but PSI is FAR superior to that trainwreck called Date.
